The coming weekend will tell us whether the edge is gone.

I was aware that mayonnaise energy density is pretty high, but damn.

A mandatory weekly swim in one of the rivers in their operating area, downstream from treatment works of course, should do the job.

Two long walks with the dogs & no alcohol. And probably as a consequence, I’ve slept really well. In my age these are more than little wins.

This happens easily for big successful organisations. Over decades a strong culture aligned with how they succeed forms. Once the market changes requiring a culture change, a seemingly invincible company suddenly stumbles. They simply can’t respond even if they what they should change.

Ex. Rolls Royce CEO stated this phenomenon well: culture eats strategy for breakfast.

Alternative headline: journalist is upset when the PM didn’t say what he wanted the PM to say

Quite an interesting news nugget.

I too left reddit with the API mess and have not gone back. No regrets. Welcome to Lemmy and the wider fediverse. I think you’ll like it here.

Yes.

Is there a bigger societal waste day-in-day-out than people sitting in traffic jams? Any measure that reduces car journeys taken is a good measure in my books.

Currently on holiday in the Cotswolds, UK. So long you stay away from the main touristy spots it’s good, even though we are in the middle of the tourist season.

The number of arsehole men is too damn high. Whenever I see or hear these stories my blood boils.

Trump playing ‘the wisdom and experience angle’ seems like a great strategy. I wish he goes for it!

You love what you love. If others don’t, that’s cool. I quite like some songs by Nickelback, but they aren’t quite my favourite. I find myself listening to Creed from time to time and I think they are great.

As for AB, the best band ever as far as I’m concerned. There is not a single AB album I haven’t played again and again. I’ve seen them live ten times or so, and will go see them every time I get the opportunity. And Myles could sing the phonebook and I’d still love it.

Remember when email was useful? I remember when it was magical!

Time for a story from the ancient times. I had this idea and asked my professor for advice. He said he knew a person on the other side of the world who would know all about it. “This is his ‘email’ address.”

I had never heard about ‘email’ so I needed to learn what it was and how to send one. I wrote my message and off it went. The very next morning I had a reply. One of the best experts on a topic I was keen about had shared their thoughts from the other side of the world, just like that.

In that time, a long time ago as you’ll appreciate, that interaction was magical.

In an instant I understood the power of the Usenet. A while later and with a couple of additional protocols they started calling that the Internet.

On a completely unrelated note, in 1973 they build a police station in St Ives Cambs … in Pig Lane. The name of the road next to the police station was hastily changed, but the rest of Pig Lane is still there.

Toot-toot, moog got the boot!

Daily Fail, consistent as always, so far up Tory arse one wouldn’t believe possible.

I root for the moog to get the boot.
